The Health Informatics Analyst is a data scientist that is both an experienced individual contributor and team member that provides expertise in the planning, creating and execution of healthcare reporting solutions with targeted customers.
InterSystems products help hospitals, healthcare providers, health plans, researchers, and public health organizations take action on the full range of health data by unifying, transforming, and shaping the data for use in many ways. InterSystems software helps our customers understand state and national disease and treatment patterns, track chronic conditions and growing diseases such as Covid-19, measure and improve healthcare quality, alert when health risks occur, give patients better access to their health data, accelerate research, and much more. The Health Informatics Analyst is expert at understanding targeted customer challenges from the healthcare point of view, including a deep understanding of population health needs across the healthcare information ecosystem.

1) understanding business requirements and information needs about healthcare and health industry problems such as the ones above,
2) refining and translating such requirements into analytic and logical models that leverage healthcare data standards and value sets to address those requirements,
3) making results actionable by designing interactive dashboards, alerts, visual displays, and other applications.
